Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me make learning fun! I'm looking for hands-on materials to make learning fun for my students who struggle with reading and writing. For math, I'm requesting interactive number lines, games that require critical thinking, and pop-it 100 charts to give learning some extra pizazz.

For reading and writing, I'm requesting research-based books that will aid my professional learning and support my students.

Fundation cards provide good reinforcement of taught grapheme-phoneme correspondence. Megawords will help my students understand the morphemes of language to become better at comprehension as well as decodable readers.

All of these items will help our struggling learners love to read, write, and do math. Your support is so appreciated!
